Anywhere that lists the poster dimensions?

Information on shipping, storing and repairing your art, plus your reviews on products for art collecting, making, storing, etc..

Does this or any other site list of the dimensions of each poster, Phish posters specifically? I'm about to "un-tube" a bunch and I don't want to take them out to measure them before I order the storage products.

Thanks!

be careful, I've seen artist's websites that have dimensions that are off by an inch or two every now and then

No guarantees on the sizes. We do our best.

Not being a smart-ass.....but have you used the search feature to find the items to see if they're listed?

There's a big ol' database of posters and many have the sizes.

Again, be careful. You might wanna order an extra inch.

I sure wish I could have ordered an extra inch.

My advise: DON'T order any storage materials until you measure the posters you have-----sometimes people make mistakes in measuring dimensions [even measuring the 'image area' instead of the outside dimensions, plain republican studidity, etc], sometimes the same posters vary in size [in the 60's and 70's sometimes only parts of a run were trimmed down because of time, or because of not fully drying, etc. and, back then, more of the paper cutters were manually calibrated , by eye frequently, and not by electronics as is done now resulting in different sized. {Did I explain this clearly enough?]
